Description
Summary:This study aims to determine the perception of junior high school students about e-books as a learning source. This study used survey method involving 95 junior high school students. The questionnaire is used to find out the students' perceptions of e-books.

This study also revealed several reasons for their preference, their reason can be a consideration for learning developers to design e-books that match the characteristics, expectations, and needs of students.
